Hi! This morning I noticed I had a spider mites infesstation on all 3 of my plants. The plants are flowering right now, and as the idiot I am, i used organic pesticide on the plant once. I didn't think about that it would be toxic to smoke. So my question is, can I still smoke my buds when harvested? The harvest is about a month away. The pesticide is baes pyrethrum from the chrysanthemum flower

Is it synthetic or organic? Honestly I wouldn’t want to be smoking bud that had been sprayed while it was in flower. But if it’s organic And it’s very early in flower.... you might be ok but I’d wait to hear what others say. don’t do it again Though. Another treatment from what I hear is spinosad I’ve heard that is ok to use in flower. But do your research. Hope it helps gl

Like I said wait and see what others say. But definitely don’t spray again I’ve heard iso alcohol and water mix 50-50 works too. Plenty of good info on this forum gl brother
 
you can.
The plant cant absorb pyrethrin, if a month away from harvest, enough time to let it degrades.
 
Pyrethrin is good also a real gentle soap works well and I've had success using habanero peppers their small orange peppers i cut them into quarters then boil in a little water let steep a while then mash thru a strainer into the reserved water, mix that with a teaspoon of gentle soap and fill a quart spray bottle. Wear gloves and if outside make sure its not sunny. ccguns
 
I wouldn't spray pyrethrins or spinosad on flowers anywhere near harvest, neither are harmless, but you're a month out, that's totally fine. You can always wash your buds when you chop them down if you're still concerned, lots of people do it, including myself for outdoor buds.
